Kitties!
Mommy here.
Since The Baby is too naughty to go outside sleeping I thought I'd take all y'all outside to show you around the entire yard.
The Kat House...
the only legal one in Clark County!
Coming up the drive.
The front entryway; the front patio is on the left.
Looking across the front yard from the driveway.
The canary palm from the patio,
...and the Mexican Primrose below it! Primrose is invasive, but so far we're enjoying being invaded. It won't go any farther than the irrigation system.
We hope.
The front yard from the opposite direction; look, there's the HMS Tuna in the driveway!
The side yard.
Scott (Daddy) picked up the ornamental plum as a raggety-looking twig at an end-of-year sale a few seasons ago and it's doing beautifully. He's a plant as well as a Cat whisperer.
Approaching the new sitting area.
The new spot to hang out! The lantana garden on the left is a work in progress, as is the new garden in the corner. If I can ever find a harness that The Baby can't escape I know she'll enjoy spending time here, stalking her Evil Nemesis, Mister Hummerbird.
Turning around, the view back down the side of the house.
Living on the corner we lucked out by getting a nice wide side yard and not just an alleyway. Even though our property is small it feels spacious because of the few extra feet.
The Back yard from the bench area. Henry's Hut is way down at the end, The Baby's Lime Lemon Tree is on the right, and the under-construction lantana garden on the left.
A different angle, taken from the bench.
Finally, the most important bed of all, the Cat Nip bed!
Kitties, I hope you enjoyed the tour, and to see more gardens and gardening posts visit Jonsie and follow the links!

We love your garden! We hope The Baby will be able to enjoy it again soon!
ReplyDeleteWow ................
ReplyDeleteMom, we are moving ...
Love, Lucky & Co.
You have stunning landscaping. Your daddy does a beautiful job and to look at his work makes me think it was done by a professional. A lot of work went into your yard, and you can tell it has been a labor of love for him.
ReplyDeleteThe Mexican Primrose is beautiful. We just love it. We would like to be invaded by it too. We also noticed the spectacular view of the mountain you have from your yard. And the seating area looks like a wonderful spot to relax.
ReplyDeleteYou have a really wonderful property with lovely gardens. You've all put a lot of hard work and love into it and it shows!

What a beautiful garden... I love a corner lot too! I would take being invaded by primrose over weeds any day - LOL! Btw, where on earth did you find such a huge blue cat?!?!? :-)
ReplyDeletehow do i tip the tour guide?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the most enjoyable and beautiful tour of your gardens. Cat Dad not only is a very skillful Cat apparatus carpenter, he is also a master gardner!! Be sure to remember him on Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteHugs Madi
Wowser, you hooomans sure have a nice outside area as well as that wonderful catio. We love all your outside trees, bushes and flowers. It is so nice. Thanks for the great tour.
ReplyDeleteWow, your yard and gardens are beautiful and so neat and orderly!
ReplyDeleteWe loved looking all round your garden - it is a beautiful place and so tidy. We liked those primroses - it may be invasive but it is pretty.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Your place is so pretty and any one of the garden scenes would make a beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely garden. Mom said the front was great when she saw it - then it got dark so it is nice to get the full tour!!
ReplyDelete:::
ReplyDeleteWowzers! What a great yard! Yous is such lucky cats! And all that sun! Me thinks the sun has forgot where me lives.
Kisses

I love your garden. I so wish I could have a garden again. I'm not much of a gardener, but I miss having that feeling of space around me. A tree for shade and a comfy chair to read in...ah, it would be bliss.
ReplyDeleteUh oh now Mom wants to move in too! All because it looks super nice and warm!
ReplyDeleteGreat tour!
ReplyDeleteThe front looks so inviting with all the plantings and landscaping.
You *are* lucky with the side yard. The homes we've looked at in Phoenix all have a little bitty bit on each side.
Love the new bench area too.
Perfect for a Marg and a good book!
Very nice tour!
ReplyDelete~ The Bunch
You have a beautiful home and garden!! I can't wait to have my own someday. You are some lucky kitties (and parents!)
ReplyDeleteLovely! But we still like your catio the best!
ReplyDeleteA truly beautiful place. We hope y'all get many contented years of enjoyment from it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for the marvelous tour of your stunning garden. It feels very magical to me, and it must have been quite difficult to grow plants in that environment, but of course you've purchased just the right ones.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Dad must be a plant whisperer! Perhaps his skills extend to all living things!
And as for The Baby, I would recommend a dog harness actually. We have one for Dante -- not because he escapes, but because he's too large for the kitty ones. I'm sure they must have dog harnesses for really little dogs, so therefore something to fit The Baby. Those dog harnesses are pretty well iron clad.
Your home is amazing inside and out -- it should be in House Beautiful as well as Cat Fancy!
Oooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pawsome yard!!!
We really like the catnip garden!!!!!
That would be a fun place to hang out,heehee

I loved the tour of your yard, and I think your landscaping (the plants and the hardscape) is fabulous. We're so humid and tropical here, a dry desert climate looks wonderful.

ReplyDeleteYou guys have a beautiful place; thanks for the lovely tour!...kisses to all 13 of you!!...Calle, Halle, Sukki

Now, see? If my mom could've made our old yard as pretty, maybe she wouldn't have gotten routinely cranky about yard work! Yours is very beautiful!
